Everyone originally thought that Bennett was done for this time, but as they watched him dust himself off and get up, the look in everyone else’s eyes changed completely.
When they saw the car, it had crashed into the room across the street, with no movement for a while.
“Damn!”
Reuben charged towards the car and kicked it.
Seeing that Bennett was okay, Peter also got out and ran to the red sedan that had hit him.
As expected, there was now a young woman inside the car, who was shaking all over and probably frightened out of her wits.
To Peter’s surprise, the woman’s car had managed to brake after crashing into the house, and no one was injured.
Seeing that the woman was unharmed, Peter also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Do you not know how to drive?!”
Reuben yelled at the car door.
Many people had crowded around, and the police had arrived at this point.
The scene was chaotic.
At this time, Bennett touched his pocket and his expression became complex.
At the most dangerous moment just now, he had clearly felt a powerful force emanating from his pocket.
It was the appearance of this power that had blocked the force of the car collision.
Otherwise, he didn’t know if he would be alive.
When his hand reached into his pocket, he felt some powder and found that it was jade powder when he pulled it out.
The talisman!
At this time, Bennett finally realized that when Peter had given him the jade talisman, he hadn’t paid much attention to it, but it was this very thing that had saved his life.
Was this real?
After checking all his belongings, especially the jade powder, Bennett was now sure that it was indeed the jade talisman that had saved his life.
What a strange person!
Now, Bennett no longer had any doubts about Peter, and his only thought was to befriend this person.
What everyone didn’t know was that Mr.
Smith had seen the faint light emitted from Bennett’s body at the time, and was carefully observing Bennett, curious about how he had survived.
When Mr.
Smith saw Bennett pull some jade powder out of his pocket, he was somewhat confused.
At this time, after Peter pulled Reuben away, he thought of Bennett and hurried over to ask, “Bennett, are you okay?”
Bennett was still in shock and casually replied, “I’m fine.”
“Oh, isn’t this jade powder?
What happened, did Peter’s jade talisman get destroyed in the crash?” Reuben pulled out his own jade talisman as he spoke.
At this time, Mr.
Smith also came over, and his gaze swept over Reuben’s jade talisman before shifting to Peter.
Could it be that Peter made this happen?
“Peter, Bennett’s jade talisman is destroyed.
Can you give him another one?”
Reuben was actually using this opportunity to ingratiate himself with Bennett.
After all, he hadn’t actively tried to save Bennett earlier and just escaped, so now seeing that Bennett’s jade talisman was broken, Reuben wanted to ask Peter for a favor.
Peter smiled and said, “Alright.”
Then, Peter took out a jade talisman and handed it to Bennett.
At this time, Bennett’s eyes lit up, and before he even had time to say thanks, he grabbed the jade talisman and carefully put it away.
Mr.
Smith was now even more sure of his guess, and his gaze at Peter had changed, wondering if this young man was a peculiar individual.
Mr.
Smith had also met quite a few cultivators in this herb market and knew that some of them had a special preference for herbs.
At this time, the police officers had come over and were asking about the situation.
After Reuben quickly explained the situation, a good-looking woman got out of the red car.
However, it was clear to everyone that she was terrified, with her legs shaking uncontrollably.
“I just picked up the car today.
I rushed out to avoid pedestrians, and in a panic, I pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake.
It happened to be a turn, and I don’t know why, but I just kept pressing harder.
By the time I tried to switch my foot, it was too late!” The woman said palely, taking a while to explain the situation.
At this time, Bennett waved his hand and said, “It’s fine.
I’m not hurt.
You can handle whatever she needs to deal with.”
Since Bennett said he wouldn’t pursue the woman’s responsibility, the matter naturally had little to do with him anymore.
Now, the police were focusing on the fact that the house had been hit.
This area was Mr.
Smith’s territory.
After he gave some instructions to one of his subordinates, he took Bennett and the others directly to a restaurant.
After sitting down, everyone continued to discuss what just happened.
At this time, Mr.
Smith sat next to Peter and whispered, “Mr.
Brown, can you give me one of your jade talismans too?”
Peter glanced at Mr.
Smith, thinking that he really had good taste, wanting one of his precious jade talismans.
Seeing Peter’s glance, Mr.
Smith quickly said, “I know your jade talisman is valuable, but I’m willing to exchange it for a treasure.”
Peter Brown’s interest was piqued, and he asked, “What is it?”
“A four hundred-year-old Shou Wu.”
Peter was overjoyed, thinking that he should make friends with more herb store owners like this, as they seemed to have good herbs on hand.
“It’s a deal!” Peter agreed.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Bennett looked at Peter and said, “Peter, I won’t forget this huge favor.
You saved my life again today!”
Reuben, who didn’t know the details, asked, “Bennett, what’s going on?”
Bennett glanced at Mr.
Smith and said, “It seems that Mr.
Smith is also keen on exceptional people.
Mr.
Smith, your four hundred-year-old Shou Wu is not a loss.
I think you’ve made a profit.
You know, Peter’s jade talisman is not ordinary.
It’s a life-saving treasure!”
He then looked at Reuben and said, “Reuben, you helped me ask for a jade talisman, and I owe you a big favor.
When we get back, I need to think about how to repay Peter.”
Peter smiled and said, “It’s just a jade talisman, not a big deal.”
“No, it’s not ordinary gratitude.
Peter, when the car was coming, I thought it was all over.
But at the critical moment, the jade talisman blocked the force of the collision.
Can your talisman even block a bullet?”
Peter hadn’t actually tested it yet, but he smiled and said, “I’m not sure, maybe.”
Only then did Reuben learn the value of the jade talisman that Peter had given them.
He took it out again and examined it, saying, “Aside from some incomprehensible patterns, there’s nothing special.”
At this point, Peter didn’t feel like explaining any further.
He only wanted to give the talismans to these two people because of their relationship, and he wouldn’t want to give them to anyone else.
Of course, Mr.
Smith’s centuries-old Shou Wu was something Peter needed, and he even believed that as long as he used this Shou Wu as the main ingredient, the medicine he made would be enough for him to reach the Qi Refining Second Layer.
